Just a little heads-up: This year's deadline is Sunday, November 24th, 8pm GMT. (When is that for me?)

Which means you have two weeks until assignments are due. (Here is a quick guide for how to upload your work to AO3 - just substitute this year's collection, which is Public Call - Doctor Who fic exchange 2019.)

The first stories are already in, and we hope writing is going well for everybody else. Good luck, everyone! :)

Matching's done, and assignments have been sent out - check your email inboxes or your AO3 accounts, everyone!

Stories are due by November 24th, 8pm GMT. (When is that for me?)

If something went wrong and you didn't offer any of the requested relationships in your assignment, please contact the mods. You are only guaranteed to match on one relationship. You only have to write one story, but of course you're free to write more if you'd like. Please make sure not to include the dislikes your recipient specified in the details.

Good luck, everyone! Have fun!

Sign-ups for Public Call 2019 are now open!

Sign-up form on AO3

(If you need an AO3 account, you can request one here, or just ask the mods.)

Sign-ups will remain open until 8pm GMT on Thursday, 17th October (When is that in my time zone?)

To sign up, you must specify which combinations of characters ("relationships") you are willing to receive or write fic for. "Relationship" encompasses all kinds of relationships, from familial to friendship to romance, from platonic to explicitly sexual etc., and writers are free to write any relationship as a pairing/moresome or as gen. You can give a preference in your sign-up, but any details other than dislikes are optional for writers.

Here is the list of available relationships.

(You can also see an easier-to-read full list of relationships - sorted into New Who, Torchwood, Classic Who, and Mixed/Big Finish/others - on LJ or on DW.)

For reference, here are the full Rules & FAQ for this year.

Requests:
  • Relationships:

    Minimum: 3, maximum: 15

    At least one relationship must be New Who and/or Torchwood characters only.

    The sign-up form will autocomplete when you start typing a relationship.

    (There is an AO3 bug where sometimes a relationship won't come up in autocomplete. If that happens, please copy and paste it from the tagset.)

  • Details:

    Please include some information for your assigned writer in the following format:

    <b>Likes:</b> (general preferences, prompts, suggested scenarios ...)

    <b>Dislikes:</b> (in particular, please include any squicks or triggers you may have - in other words, what is it you absolutely don't want to receive?)

    You can include any other additional details you like, but please don't imply rank for relationships or otherwise specify a favourite. You are only guaranteed to match on one relationship, so make sure everything you request is something you'd be happy to receive.

    Also remember that your writer is free to write any relationship as a pairing (or moresome) or as gen as long as all characters are included in the fic. Your writer will not be allowed to include your dislikes. Prompts and other details are optional and there to help your assigned writer come up with ideas for your gift. We urge everyone to make an effort to write a fic that will appeal to their recipient to the best of their ability.

  • URL:

    You can add a link to a "Dear Writer" letter if there's more you'd like to tell your assigned writer.

Offers:
  • Minimum: 3 relationships, maximum: 20

    At least one relationship must be New Who and/or Torchwood characters only.

    The sign-up form will autocomplete when you start typing a relationship.

    (There is an AO3 bug where sometimes a relationship won't come up in autocomplete. If that happens, please copy and paste it from the tagset.)

  • You're only guaranteed to match on one relationship, so make sure everything you offer is something you'd be happy to write.

You can edit/delete your sign-up until sign-ups close on the 17th.
 
 

These are all the character combinations ("relationships") that are eligible this round. You can request or offer them in your sign-up.

Remember that for matching purposes it is required that you request and offer at least one "relationship" consisting only of New Who or Torchwood characters. That means you need to pick at least one relationship from the first two sections of this list.
